I love Denmark because Copenhagen is my favourite city in the Nordics! However, Denmark has much more to offer than just its capital city, like gorgeous Aarhus or charming Odense. Have a look at all my Denmark posts below:

Been to Copenhagen multiple times and think you’ve seen it all? Think again! Copenhagen is my favourite city in Scandinavia and the Nordics, and even though I’ve now been 4 times, I still seem to encounter new and exciting places and things to do on every visit. In this article, I’ll share some of my favourite spots and activities with you!

Having lived in and explored the Nordics quite extensively over the past few years, I often forget that not everyone is quite as crazy about snow and hygge as I am. In fact, it seems that not everyone even knows what the Nordics really are! Since that’s (sort of) mind-boggling to me, I’ve decided to do something about it and bust 7 common misconceptions and myths about the Nordics in this article!

If renting a car abroad is something that scares you, you’re not alone. I haven’t sat behind the wheel of a car since moving to Norway and I don’t intend to change that anytime soon (I’m SUCH a nervous driver!). Luckily for you and me, you don’t necessarily need a car to explore Norway, Sweden and Denmark as Scandinavia can easily be visited by train! In this article, I’ll present you with my favourite itinerary to Scandinavia, as well as further information on travel in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, so that all you need to do is book that ticket and go!

In this spoonie travel guide to Copenhagen, I’m therefore going to present the city in regards to how easy it is to visit with a chronic illness: Where can you take a break and enjoy a packed lunch with foods you know you tolerate? Where you can you visit the restroom? What kind of activity is there to do on a day when you just don’t have much energy available? Scroll down to read the answers to these and more questions and don’t forget to share the article with anyone you think might benefit from it!

With only 7 hours of daylight, an average temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and plenty of rain, visiting Copenhagen in winter can make for quite a cold and wet adventure. Fortunately for you, though, I recently made the test and visited Copenhagen in December to find out what Denmark’s cosy capital is really like during winter - and, more importantly, how you can make the most of your visit even if it’s grey and rainy!

Aarhus is the second biggest city of Denmark and was the European Capital of Culture 2017. Did I visit in 2017? Yes! Did I jump on the bandwagon and write about Aarhus and the festivities for its year of culture? Nope. I’m totally behind, but the good news is that I’m finally catching up! I actually spent an entire week in Denmark and got to admire 4 other charming Danish towns that you should totally visit as well! I was based in Aarhus for my entire stay and even though I didn’t get the chance to explore nearly as much as I’d have liked, I hope you’ll still find this mini-guide to Aarhus useful for future reference!

Ribe was the last place my parents and I visited when we explored Denmark together last year, but this charming small town also was the one place that impressed me most! While Aalborg was a big surprise to me and Odense is so enchanting, Ribe made me want to stay longer and explore more of Denmark's west coast! Not only is Ribe, in south-west Jutland, Denmark's oldest town, it also has plenty of present-day attractions to offer. But see it with your own eyes:

The prospect of going on yet another day trip on a really miserable, cold and rainy day during last year's Easter holidays didn't excite my parents a whole lot, to be honest. I knew, though, that they'd become much more excited when we'd eventually arrive in what turned out to be Denmark's most enchanting city: Odense! Just a 2-hour drive from Copenhagen, as well as Aarhus, and perfectly situated in the middle of Denmark, Odense makes for the perfect day trip when visiting the country.

Have you ever heard of Aalborg? Granted, Denmark's fourth largest city was a mystery to me for a long time as well - until I hopped on the ferry from Oslo to Denmark and decided that if I'll pass by Aalborg on my way to Aarhus anyway, I might as well make a pit stop for a day and explore what the city has to offer. Turns out, a lot!

This post is long overdue considering the fact that I visited mainland Denmark in 2017 but better late than never. Prior to that, I'd been to Copenhagen several times but you haven't really seen a country until you venture out of its capital, right? So, that's what I did last year. I based myself and my parents for a week in Aarhus and we went on to explore Aalborg, Odense and Ribe from there. Needless to say that I got to know a different side of Denmark on this trip and learnt SO many things about the country that I didn't know before!

Copenhagen’s rich and powerful history as the capital of the Danish Empire interweaves beautifully with some of today’s sleekest metropolitan advancement, making this a destination to draw travellers of every sort of interest. And Copenhagen isn’t called “the city of towers” for no reason - the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Denmark’s capital is by climbing one of its many viewpoints.

Taking the Stena Line ferry allowed me to essentially see more of Denmark on my way to Aarhus and not only is it a scenic way to travel in Scandinavia, but also a relatively cheap one! So if you're planning to travel with Stena Line around the North, here's all you need to know!

Is it a dream of yours to travel through Scandinavia one day? I've already done a roadtrip through Southern Scandinavia from Oslo via Gothenburg to Malmö and Copenhagen but there was one region I'd never been to: Mainland Denmark!So for this year's Easter holiday, I decided to head to Aarhus, stopping in Aalborg on the way. And as I wanted to take it easy on this trip, I didn't go by plane but opted for the scenic route instead: a ferry ride with Stena Line!

Up until this year however, I had never visited any other Danish town.Sure, there are lots of people who say that Denmark has nothing to offer beside Copenhagen anyway or that the countryside is boring. If you've been following this blog for a while though, you know that I love nothing more than discovering off the beaten path destinations all around the Nordics.

Who wouldn't want to spend a hot and sunny day by the waterside? Luckily the water is never far in Copenhagen and I'd say the best way to see the city is by boat anyway. You can rent a boat and play captain if you want, though this option is pretty expensive.

I've been in Copenhagen for 2 weeks now and have been pretty successful in gathering data (and a lot of books) for my fieldwork so far. As this was my third time in the city and I mainly spent my time in museums and art exhibitions, I didn't visit or take pictures of all the touristy spots in the city. If you're looking out for that kind of post, I wrote one about how to spend 24 hours in Copenhagen and about my boat sightseeing trip there earlier this year.

Overall I had a fantastic time on this trip and am so glad that I decided to follow that route. It was so cool to finally visit Oslo and discover some beautiful hidden gems such as Marstrand and Lund. I can only recommend you to visit the southern parts of Norway and Sweden even though my hearts totally beongs to the North!

Copenhagen is to a large part characterized by it's many canals and the harbour (well, and the little mermaid of course). It makes sense therefore that one of the easiest (and prettiest) ways to explore the city is by boat. There are a couple of companies offering boat sightseeing trips - all of them situated at Nyhavn.

Now, a lot has been said about Copenhagen in the blogosphere so if you're looking for restaurant and museum recommendations, head somewhere else for now. I'll try to provide those next time I'm in the city but this post purely is meant to be a guide on how to spend 24 hours in Denmark's capital as that's what I did (two times).

The term roadtrip doesn't exactly apply, I have to admit, but it sounds better than weird journey via plane, bus and train. Anyways, today I want to present you my itinerary and a couple of shots that hopefully make you want to read more about this trip!
